DC Threads Hits Artomatic

DC Threads hit the road last night and became a part of art history in DC - the first Sewing Lounge at Art-o-Matic! We set up shop on the 3rd floor with the Wednesday night Stitch 'n Bitchers and spent the evening stitchin' up a storm! Many thanks to Rebecca and Lauren for making the magic happen and to all the knitters who tolerated all of our stuff! We are set to be back next Wednesday - June 24th - for another round! Check out the details here - Quilt-0-matic at Art-o-matic

Check out the awesome quilt squares we built for the 1st annual Art-o-matic Quilt-o-matic!

About....

Welcome to Capitol Sew and Sew - a journal of sorts about my sewing adventures in the 202.

Please check out DC Threads, founded in 2008 to help keep the art of sewing & stitch crafts alive and well in the District of Columbia. The DC Threads website and the monthly sewing lounge offer resources for local sewing enthusiasts to learn more about their craft and share skills with others. Our mission is to find opportunities and places for young and old, experienced and novice to learn and/or teach about sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, and more! Create garments and other handmade objects - together.

About Me

Stitching for Change

'Stitching for Change'is a program for stitchers, young and old, interested in using sewing and stitching for change – personally, locally, globally. We will gather to create garments and objects for ourselves while stitching for others in need of assistance and affection. Check out the "Project Info and Links" below for examples of some of the projects we will work on this year. If you have other ideas please, please send them our way.
